Empanadas de leche
Kelvin V.

Muy buenas pupusas, pan con pollo, empanadas de leche, coctel de camarón y el pan dulce son unas de las cosas que probé por primera vez y están muy bien hechos. Kelvin es el señor que atiende y es muy amigable y atento, muy buen servicio. El ambiente es muy acogedor y tranquilo

Always the best pupusas and desayuno tipico in the antelope valley fresh fresh and always with a great taste.

Separate items for stew
Perla R.

Ordered over the phone and food was ready for pick up but it was also very hot and fresh. I ordered sopa de res (beef stew) and it was quite a generous portion, enough for 3 people. The bowl with the soup was separate from a plate that comes with the rest of the stew ingredients (beef, rice, corn, cabbage). The stew and beef were well seasoned it needed nothing added. Friendly service.

I was in the area and wanted to try their pupusas because of the great review here at yelp. Unfortunately, I was not able to so. It seems that none of the servers want to serve me because I don't speak Spanish. Two servers in different occasion said for me to wait. I waited but no one came out after nor offered me a menu so I had to leave. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was the only customer that time btw.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will not spend a dime in a place that I don't feel welcome. For this experience, I would not recommended this place.

Platonos fritos, beans, sour cream, cheese, huevos rancheros and chorizo con huevo. ( tortillas made by hand!

I've lived throughout this region, and it brought me back to some of the best mom and pop restaurants I enjoyed over the years.Keep up the great work ladies.

Just don't eat here!…read more We originally wanted to go to the Peruvian place around the corner but they had a "B" health grade so we passed on that. There was a couple tables seated inside this resident so we said "why not, let La try something new". First off they don't have a restroom or it wasn't operational or the Linda at the counter didn't feel like being helpful. We just wanted to wash our hands prior to eating. We ordered the pupusas special on their menu which is 2 pupusas for like $5.69 or something close to that, and one additional cheese and jalapeno one. When she brought the condiments to our table she spilled them which was no biggie. I offed to just wipe it myself. Our food came and we got 4 pupusas. No big deal we weren't gunna complain. Food was below subpar, no flavor and the masa had an off putting smell. As far as the food goes I would NEVER come back here, now would I recommend this place. I wanted to put the tomato based sauce on my pupusas but it was crusty and and when I opened it there was mold growing in the lid. Unfortunately I didn't see this till after we left. We went to pay our bill as she assumed and up charged us for bigger pupusas than what I had pointed to on the menu. When I asked her about it, she said that she assumed that's what we wanted. I let her know that I wanted what we had pointed at in the menu. When I asked her to refund us the difference she said she couldn't because the manager wasn't there and if I wanted to come back. All of this with a very entitled attitude. If there were zero stars, I would rate them that. Incredibly unhappy with my experience here and I'm shocked they're still in business.

What is worse is that the pupusas has a resemblance of dollar pancakes in size and the tamales were little as well on top of that the worst part is that the food has no taste whatsoever, it is bland to the max, a Jewish matzo has more flavor than the pupusas and the tamales were insipid beyond belief. I've been in a lot of restaurants and I've worked in restaurants as well serving food and doing banquets. I wasn't expecting the royal treatment that the Ritz Carlton would give their guests but at least basic guest service and decent food, this place has neither one. I see the typical wannabe restaurant entrepreneur who wants to get rich but has no passion for cooking or even basic seasoning skills in this restaurant owner. I've been in many Salvadorian and Mexican restaurants and eight out of ten have fallen in this pitfall. If you just wanna make money and have no passion for cooking stay away from the restaurant and hospitality industry.

I really enjoy coming here for pupusas or soup. Their pupusas are hands down the best I've had in…read morethe Antelope Valley. I always go for the bean and cheese ones. They also have a Tuesday special where pupusas are sold for a dollar and change, which is a great deal. I've also ordered the caldo de res and caldo de pollo, and I usually get coffee with my meals as well. I've read comments about poor customer service, but that has never been my experience. I've always been taken care of right away and my orders come out pretty quickly. The downsides are that the restaurant feels a bit stuffy, and on my last visit there were quite a few flies around, which made eating a challenge. Otherwise, i still highly recommend this place.

5 stars for food and 5 stars for service! Somehow this only equals 5 stars!…read more The food was as authentic as I've had and I've eaten my share of Salvadoran food and there are several eateries in the high desert area to choose from. The gold standard is the flavor and texture of their pupusas along with their cortido and red sauce. The revuelta, bean and cheese pupusas meet the mark. In addition you can't beat the prices as the more pupusas you order the less expensive it becomes. Everything we had was sabroso! Combo tipico, desayuno tipico with ham, pupusas, salpicon and yucca frita amazing. Their ensalada drink was some of the best I've had too. The ladies at the register and the kitchen are fast and efficient as my order was ready upon arrival. Second time back in a day visiting my Salvadoran family. I love the food of mi gente. Sorry no pics! I inhaled every bite!
